It is not coordinate dependant : for any comoving mobiles, their
distance as measured in their own frame ('proper length') is
*always* longer than measured in *any* other frame.

Take any elementary verification of SR, such as the classical
muon path, what is coordinate dependant there ?

You're going exactly where I predicted you'll go. After ROS
to be "nonsense", now it is length contraction (and so
time dilatation as well). It will become more and more
difficult to claim seriously to "derive" SR.
